Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Wwwwolf! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 12 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

  1. Petri Hiltunen - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

David Ayoub, M.D. article

Hello Wwwwolf! I am interested in reviewing the discussion on this deleted article. I think the character is notable and has established himself in the field of vaccine safety and research and am willing to do the research on it! Please advise me on how I might review the discussion.

Thank you!

Cole Smithey

Hi there. I'm hopelessly overwhelmed by the Cole Smithey article. The references are poorly formatted, but I'm having trouble deciphering which ones might establish notability. I think he might be notable, but I can't confirm the validity of the sources. Can you advise? The article is being edited by, it seems, Colesmithey (talk · contribs) himself. Thanks! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 16:15, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh, I don't have any big idea myself. Reviews for major publications that are independent of the author should count toward notability, and it's obvious there's been a few. There's obviously quite a few blog sources I'm not so sure about myself. Some really shouldn't qualify (IMDB page, using Wikipedia itself as a reference - all of which is user-editable and thus unreliable). But either way, I'm not sure if this sort of messy reference list helps any; the point should be made that the person has made reviews that have been published in reputable places, not that there are reputable reviews and here's a randomised list of them. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 11:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My Crew (web series)

I have a web show that I'm going to do. I am trying to promote it. Wikipedia says that they're going to delete my page that I created for the show. I was wondering if you could convince them not to or copy the oage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaun180 (talk • contribs) 23:11, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the deleted page, so here's some advice. In Wikipedia, verifiability is an important concept. In all of Wikipedia's new articles, it's important to show that the article subject is notable. This basically means that there should be reliable sources independent of the article subject, and those sources should be mentioned in the article. Reliable sources include mainstream media, major websites, scientific publications, and like. This is understandably a big problem for a lot of web content that has received little or no prior media exposure before they are released (not everything can be Google Wave), and a lot of such material is only added to Wikipedia afterwards. Also, if you're affiliated with the work itself, it's important that you're aware of the conflict of interest policy. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 11:15, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Legend of the Green Dragon

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Legend of the Green Dragon. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Legend of the Green Dragon (3rd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perfume Genius

"Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb (talk) 05:53, 8 September 2010 (UTC)"

despite reviews about Perfume Genius on New York Times, The Guardian and BBC Music my contribution on the artist has been deleted;

as from wikipedia notification I would request that the article be "userfied" / a copy emailed to me.

thanks, mh —Preceding unsigned comment added by Memory hunter (talk • contribs) 13:21, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How to Userfy? Does this mean undelete and fix it it up?

I started an article...shame on me, it's about the company I work for. I think the company is notable and excellent and deserves a little notice and record in the world of fact. If Texas Lightsmith can't be listed, why is Thermador or Wolf or Fagor any more notable? Ah...is it because they pay large sums of money to have third party articles written on them or is it simply because they have been mentioned before? Texas Lightsmith has been around since 1995, John W. Worsham III has had a lifelong passion for black smithing, he began the business in his back yard. Texas Lightsmith is a dying American breed of company, and I would like help them into the books for holding the ground of fine craftsmanship and metal work that the US was built on. There are only a handful of small companies that make custom copper kitchen appliances. 

"Third Party Sources" are not easy to come by but I know Texas Lightsmith has them... does HGTV count?
  • Articles & Such:
Texas Lightsmith was in the "wow-worthy products of 2009" from the Kitchen/Bath Industry Show & Conference show
There is at least one article in the Austin American-Statesman [1]
Article in the Lake Travis View[2]

Awarded 2006 Silver ADEX Award for Design Excellence, for the "S" Sink
Awarded the 2005 Gold ADEX Award for Design Excellence, for the Range Hood #13

I hope you see that I really just needed more experience and time to work on the article. Wikipedia and it's "ways" are big, endless, confusing and scary... I am a pretty fast learner and I'm trying... ok?

Help Me?

Wikipedia:Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:54, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bush Chemists

hi there, i wonder if you can help me? - sometime ago i posted an article about a british reggae band called 'the bush chemists' & i can't find it on wiki to edit it. if it's been deleted for some reason, then an explanation would be good (as would advice on linking key words in the article) anyway, if you can find it achived anywhere, i'd appreciate a copy of it sent to me: johnlondon@talktalk.net thank you for your anticipated help in this matter.

yours: j.c. london aka MentalJuan  :-) p.s. i don't know if 4 tildes will help, but: MentalJuan :-) (talk) 15:07, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replied via email. Feel free to ask here if you have any further questions, especially with details on what kind of linking advice you need. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 17:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

perfume genius

hi wwwwolf, thanks for recovering my contribution on perfume genius, now i'm not sure about the first option, how do i countinue editing the article online and eventually ask for undeleting? where will it be stored inbetween? thanks, memory hunter Memory hunter (talk) 05:00, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can simply continue continue editing the page at User:Memory hunter/Perfume genius; just hit the Edit tab, remove the template stuff at the beginning (don't forget to remove the speedy deletion templates too =) and keep editing like you would edit any normal page. You may want to keep the page out of categories by temporarily surrounding the category part of the page with <nowiki>...</nowiki>. You can ask opinions on the progress of the article and its sourcing from other users; I'm not very good at talking about notability of music articles. When you are done, you can move the page to proper title by using the Move function; do try to use a properly capitalised title. =) When you are done, you can request the history to be undeleted at Deletion Review or contacting some admin. Hope this helps! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 15:45, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
